说明

What’s your typical day like?

On weekdays, my day usually starts around 7 a.m. I get up, take a shower, and have a quick breakfast—usually just coffee and toast. Then I either go to work or attend my online classes, depending on the day. Most of my afternoon is spent working on assignments or meetings. In the evening, I like to relax a bit—maybe watch a show, cook dinner, or go for a walk. I try to go to bed by 11, but I’m not always successful!
